I have exchanged a couple of email with Albert Drent, developer of Aducom TASQLite (ASGSQlite) about my comments on their licensing.

I should clarify that when I wrote the previous entry for this bug that reads "...Aducom case is quite a shame..." I did not mean to say that the component or the developers were a shame, but that our situation as GPL developers finding a good component that we cannot use was a shame.

Albert Drent has stated that his intentions have always been to share his code to the most extent. We, as open source developers, always appreciate other developers kindly sharing code and knowledge with the rest of the world.

After I explained the reasons why we could not use his components (the licensing clash between the GPL and an old BSD-like licenses) he has told me that he will release the components under a new BSD license, so other GPL developers can benefit too.

So, it seems we will consider seriously using Aducom component for the local database store of the OSCPMWin application.
